That way, when the family divides up in the future, they can get a larger share.
Although she had heard from Chi Yu that the separation of the family wouldn't take that long.
But in her mind, even if the family were to split up, it would only mean separating the other two brothers.
Young and successful parents, they followed them.
Judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem like that?
Sure enough, just as she expected, Chen Xiaomai said:
"Boss, a few days ago you got engaged to Ye Jun. Her family asked for 500 catties of coarse grains, but nothing else."
Now, based on the price your aunt sells it for, these 500 catties of coarse grains are equivalent to five taels of silver. Do you agree?
Ikegi nodded: "I agree!"
Chen Xiaomai then looked at Shen Yejun, who was standing under the eaves of the main room, and seeing that she nodded, she continued:
"Okay, since you all agree, then according to your standard, the second and third sons will also be subject to this standard."
However, food is precious right now, so we won't use grain; we'll use silver directly as payment.
In other words, the existing funds must first be deducted from the betrothal money for the second and third sons to pay for their wives.
Shen Yejun couldn't say anything; in her opinion, this was fair.
Even though she married the eldest son!
Chi Mu nodded again: "Mother, it's only right!"
"Good! In the past, when our family went hunting, we always went with your eldest and second uncles, so the money was about the same."
Later, even the grain that was purchased with money was of similar quality.
Finally, because I had previously made and sold tofu, I earned a little money.
In addition to the vegetables they had planted before, which were more than what your second aunt's family had, the total amount of money was also slightly more.
Currently, including the ten taels your aunt also gave, the total is fifty-six taels and one hundred and twenty-five coins.
Of this money, five taels were given to the second and third sons first, leaving forty-six taels and one hundred and twenty-five coins.
At this moment, your father and I will leave behind one tael and one hundred and twenty-five cash, and the remaining forty-five taels will be divided among the family, with fifteen taels going to each family.
Your father and I are still young, and we don't need you to provide us with any retirement food for the time being.
"When we're over fifty, you can give us whatever amount you'd pay us each year, according to the village's standards."
Chi Mu, Chi Lin, and Chi Sen had no objections upon hearing this.
At this moment, Chi Sen asked, "Mother, we haven't separated from our eldest and second uncles."
My aunt said that this year, when it comes to corvée labor, Lord Fang is willing to let everyone pay in cash as payment.
So, should we split this five taels of silver equally among the three of us?
If we split it equally, it would be a little over 10600 coins per family. If the three of us brothers split it equally, each of us would pay a little over 500 coins. Why don't you deduct that from the total first?
When this came up, Chi Kang stepped forward and said, "Ah Sen, there's no need!"
Before, my uncle and I were working in the county town. During the few days I was busy, my uncle came back and said that he had spoken to the county magistrate and could give me two days off.
Then, since my uncle's work is quite special, this time he can directly use our family's quota.
In other words, our three families don't need to send anyone to perform corvée labor this year, nor do we need to pay any money.
This is mainly thanks to my uncle. It was his hard work in the county town that brought us this.
When Chi Dahu returned, he didn't mention this to take credit, so apart from Chi Kang asking him privately, no one else knew about it.
After hearing this, Chi Erxiong said to the younger ones:
"At the end of the year, all of you younger ones, put your money together and make your uncle a set of clothes and a pair of shoes."
